18578 divided by 36 
We want to divide 18578 by 36.

On to step 1:
36 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 36

On to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 36, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 185 / 36

Moving on to step 3:
185 divided by 36 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 180 from 185, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 57 / 36

Let's proceed to step 4:
57 divided by 36 is 1 with a remainder of 21.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we subtract 36 from 57, we get 21.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 218 / 36

Advancing to step 5:
218 divided by 36 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 516.0
Subtract 216 from 218 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 20 by 36, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 516.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
200 divided by 36 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 516.05
Subtract 180 from 200 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 200 by 36, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 516.055
Subtract 180 from 200 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 516.055 with a balance of 0.002.
